00:00Yeah, got punched quite a few times, yeah.

00:02By Sydney Sweeney.

00:02Oh, yeah.

00:03So tell me about her punch.

00:05I mean, it felt good, yeah.

00:08I loved it.

00:09It was great, yeah.

00:09I think it'll, hopefully, it better read well on camera.

00:13What was it like hitting Sydney Sweeney in the face?

00:18That did not feel good.

00:21Because I, you know, even with the extra 30 pounds, I still would have like 20 or 30 pounds on her.

00:27So it never feels good.

00:28But she didn't seem to care very much, so.

00:31Before you do a scene like that, do you say to her, like, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you?

00:37Yeah, the agreement was, like, just don't break my nose.

00:40I was like, please, just don't break my nose.

00:41I had to do Running Man right after.

00:43I was like, I just don't want that.

00:45And she's like, if you break my nose, it's fine.

00:47So it's like, all right.

00:48So you could break her nose.

00:49She couldn't break yours.

00:50But obviously, I don't think that would work out for the movie.

00:53So you didn't break her nose?

00:55No, I did not break her nose.

00:56Well, she would have told me you did.

00:58I know, I've had that.

01:00I have broken people's things before in the past.

01:05It was not fun.

01:06That's ominous.

01:10Tell me about her performance.

01:12Just, I mean, this is heavy drama for her.

01:14It is.

01:15It's very heavy.

01:16If anyone hasn't seen the story or anything or heard of the story, Christy Martin, there's a documentary on Netflix, too.

01:24It's really very close to the story.

01:26And Christy was there often.

01:28Are you sure?

01:28Yeah, yeah.

01:29So, you know, that alone is intimidating to have a real person there and then a real person that could kick your butt.

01:35You know, like, that's all very scary.

01:37But she was just super awesome, really hyped for it and just was, like, a cool, positive influence and just an awesome, just a powerful woman.

01:48And that's just, it's cool.

01:48It's cool to be around.

01:50Let's talk about running man, Glenn Powell.

01:52Yes.

01:52Tell me about working with Glenn, the nicest guy in Hollywood.

01:55Is he America's sweetheart now?

01:57Is that the new?

01:58You know what?

01:58That would work.

01:59Let's call him that.

01:59America's sweetheart, Glenn Powell, the nicest man in Hollywood.

02:02It's true.

02:03And I've even asked people behind the scenes.

02:05I'm like, is he really this nice?

02:06Because, like, he's nice to me.

02:07I'm like, is he really, like, behind the scenes?

02:10And they're like, yeah, he just is.

02:11It's disgusting.

02:12Tell me about your role.

02:14I am a contestant in The Running Men.

02:17It's very fun.

02:19Katie, thank you so much.

02:20So good seeing you.

02:21Thank you, Sarah.

02:22You're trying to do that.
